Benefits of technology

This invention allows users to access important information about devices or processes by retrieving it specifically for their own use. This information can range from basic details like instructions on how to operate the device to more complex data such as technical diagrams or manuals. The benefit is that this information is always accessible and easy to examine simultaneously with the actual device or process. Additionally, the technology positions relevant information in a way that makes sense within the physical environment where they are being used, ensuring quicker identification and utilization of useful information. Overall, this innovation provides efficient and effective means for accessing and utilizing relevant information while working with equipment or machines.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the difficulty for field operators to navigate through multiple user interfaces and gain access to relevant information and documentation about the installed equipment in various settings such as manufacturing facilities, power plants, etc. Additionally, there can be consistency issues among the different user interfaces. To solve these challenges, the patent proposes the use of augmented reality technology to enable seamless interactions with the installed equipment while providing easy access to relevant documents without having to constantly search for them.

Embodiment Construction

[0042]FIG. 1 shows a schematic overview in which an object 7 is approached by a user 1. User 1 has a display device 3 which may be a head mounted display. Object 7 is arranged with an identifying marker 8. User 1 is equipped with a camera, preferably a video camera, and a pointer device 4. Control equipment, which may be located some distance away from the equipment of interest, is connected to the equipment of interest (object 7) via a control system, distributed control system (DCS) or in some other way the control equipment, that may be remote, comprises information displays 17 or readouts, and one or more control switches or control panels 14.

[0043] Standing close to the equipment of interest, object 7, the user 1 sees in the display 3, a composite image 9 which includes an image 7′ of a real object, a computer generated graphic image 4′ of the pointer and one or more computer generated images 14′ of documentation and / or graphic objects for control, such as a faceplate or a con...

Abstract

A method to generate technical information about a device or process by recognizing the identity of a device or process, retrieving a stored image dependent on the device, combining the stored virtual image together with an image of a real device object displaying the combination on a display and providing a virtual control HMI means to the user for monitoring and/or controlling the device or process. A graphical user interface, computer program and a system are also described.
